H. Gordon Montague
Known from a concise but notable contribution to American mammalogy, this researcher coauthored a study describing new pocket gophers from Wyoming and Colorado. The surviving record suggests a careful field-and-museum scientist whose published work grew out of postwar research at the University of Kansas.

Two New Pocket Gophers from Wyoming and Colorado
by E. Raymond (Eugene Raymond) Hall, H. Gordon Montague
About the author
H. Gordon Montague is credited as the coauthor, with E. Raymond Hall, of Two New Pocket Gophers from Wyoming and Colorado, a zoological study published through the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History. Project Gutenberg’s author listing appears to preserve that work as the main title associated with his name.
The text of that study explains that, in the 1947–48 academic year, Montague investigated geographic variation in Thomomys talpoides in Wyoming using material in the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History, with additional comparison to specimens from nearby areas including Colorado. That gives the clearest picture available of his work: a researcher focused on mammalogy, taxonomy, and specimen-based study of North American rodents.
Reliable biographical detail beyond that published research is limited in the sources I could confirm, so this overview stays close to the record. Even so, his name remains linked to a small but lasting piece of mid-20th-century natural history scholarship.
